prospective customers the chance to win $10,000 when they build a site
using free hosting services from WebProvider and free site creation
software from Trellix.
"The thought of building a Web site may seem a daunting and costly
prospect to the novice," said Herb Hribar, CEO of Interliant. "However,
through our alliance with Trellix, consumers now have a one-stop shop
for all the Web tools they need to build, maintain and host
professional-looking, multi-page Web sites. And to add even more value,
all of these hosting and design tools are totally free."
"Trellix Web is becoming the most popular way for everyday people to
express themselves or market their business on the Web," said Don
Bulens, president and CEO of Trellix Corporation. "Our constant mission
is to help people to discover just how easy it is to build a great Web
site."
The contest begins today and runs through May 4, 2000. Executive judges

interesting Web sites on a bi-weekly basis and will award the creators
of the winning sites a prize package that includes a portable MP3

select a grand prize winner from the pool of prize package winners, and
